Surprise!!





25th April 2009, Mum and Dad's Golden Wedding Anniversary. To say that things had not to plan is a bit of an understatement!! Because of Mums illness they had to cancel their holiday to New York, they also had to cancel the party that they had planned, mainly because we were not sure if mum would be well enough or even out of hospital in time to go ahead with it. So now she has been home for a couple of days we decided on the spur of the moment to go out for a bite to eat with family. So I booked The Cowper Arms at Digswell. They were very accommodating and welcoming, they fit 13 of us in and served a lovely meal!! I bought some balloons for the table and some banners. The rest we will save for the rescheduled party!
